If You Love Spinach-Artichoke Dip, You Need This Grilled Cheese Right Now

I've never hosted a party without serving baked spinach-artichoke dip. It's the ultimate crowd-pleaser: cheesy and garlicky, with the incredible duo spinach and artichoke hearts. No matter how much I slave over other dips and apps, nothing gets devoured like spinach-artichoke dip. So knowing how much people obsess over the combo, I knew I needed to sandwich it inside a grilled cheese.

You can totally use your go-to spinach (or kale!) artichoke dip here, but I did simplify my usual recipe for the sandwich and made sure to up the ratio of shredded cheese; I went for gruyere, but sharp white cheddar, fontina, or mozzarella would all work great. A little bit of cream cheese helps give the mixture that rich texture you're used to. (Either ricotta or sour cream are delicious subs.)

I did sauté the spinach with some garlic, which is a step you can skip, but it lends the flavor you'll want. Then you mix the spinach with chopped artichoke hearts, cream cheese, and gruyere. Butter your bread and slather on the mixture and you're ready to grill.
